They are back to the castle.
As the problem in the villages solved and there was no sacrifice of a virgin innocent.
Andrew was the first one to step down from the carriage. They whole time he was avoiding eye contact with her.
Isabelle whispered in his ears,
"Wow, wow, after kissing me like that, my little kitty is shy?"
Isabelle teased him with a smile and blew in his ear. Andrew flinched slightly feeling her hot breath. He just had his head hung low and eyes full of embarrassment.
"Hmm, are you sick, my kitty, your ears are so tomato red"
"My lady!!"
Andrew hid his ears with hair.
"Can you just stop talking about it" he plead to her, still avoiding eye contact.
"About what?" Isabelle played fool.
Andrew without saying anything, he ran into the castle.
"My lady"
Joseph came to welcome her.
"Butler, serve the food I am hunger and I want to eat something hot"
"My lady, I would love to have a chat with you regarding that incident"
"Oh yes, Joseph that's the main story I want to hear, but after I eat"
***
"Where is Andrew ?" Isabelle asked the servants, waiting for him in the dining hall.
"My lady, young master said he is not well so he will be skipping the meal today"
"The food is getting cold call him"
***
"Young master, Andrew, Lady Isabelle is asking for your presence in the dining hall"
The butler said from the other side of the closed door.
"Ahh, umm, no I am fine"
Came his voice from inside of the room.
"Shall I call a doctor, master?"
"NO!....I mean it's just a cold I will be fine in no time" Andrew heard the returning shoes of the butler, he sighed a hot air of relief.
***
"Master said he is too sick to come down and eat"
The butler gave a thought and spoke again, "shall I call him again but this time forcefully?"
"No, it's okay, no need to call him, guess he is looking for a twist in his life"
***
"What have I done? Am I too crazy or I need help? To kiss lady Isabelle like that. Ahhh, I should just die!!"
He was hugging and kicking his blanket.
"Am I growing up that's why I am doing this shameful act, come on, Andrew grow up. When will you grow up!!"
Touching his lips, he reminded himself of that day when he kissed Isabelle.
"Well, she was soft to kiss"
Startled with his own thoughts, he blushed hard and slapped him won cheek.
He stepped down from the bed and walked to the window and found Isabelle sitting with Joseph, it seemed like they were discussing about something. He lightly leaned towards the window, resting his head on it.
"What am I doing, God, she must have added something in my food to make me act like this, I would never thought, that one day the person I feared most from will be the first person to steal my first kiss away"
***
"What do you mean that you suspect the king in this?"
"It could be that the king is after everything that is happening in the Neverwas, my lady"
"Do you have proof? You know he is the king, you can't suspect him without any proof"
"The red light they saw in the silent forest is something to think about my lady"
"I know, Joseph. But if the king is after everything then he is a murderer who been murdering the innocent villagers and nobles for blood and flesh, and hiding behind his crown, he must be brought down the throne"
"This could be, because the a light like that can be only brought from the imperial power"
"I believe you, Joseph I am aware of it, but without a strong proof, suspecting the king can bring us down and then prison and death"
"We can turn blind eye to this situation, my lady many innocent life can be in danger, what if the nobles start to oppose the king then too we can bring him down"
Isabelle felt a pair of eyes staring on her, she looked to sideward up and found Andrew staring and then suddenly hiding.
"Andrew?"
Joseph turned to look behind him and he found no one.
"Joseph, we will talk later on, okay" leaving Joseph she walked into the castle.
***
"What, she saw me!! Shit shit, now what"
Andrew heard her steps approaching his room.
"She was in the garden right now right? And so faste she is here, can she teleport too?"
A knock was heard on his door.
He went to open the door, but found no one, confused Andrew walked out if his room and into the corridors, check left and right, but no one.
"Whom are you looking for my cat?"
Her voice from inside of his room, surprised him.
He turned in the direction of the room and saw her sitting on the bed with a smirk on her face.
"Me?" Her smile grew bigger.
"My lady, how did you?!"
"Magic~" she sung in the word.
Isabelle pushed herself up from the bed and without breaking the eye contact she approached him. "So we were busy don't you think?"
Andrew took one step back as she would take one step close.
Isabelle was loving this slow chase.
Soon Andrew could not run anymore, his step stopped when his back in contact with the door.
He gulped down a mouth full of nervousness and stared down on the floor.
She smirked and he felt her hand on the side of his waist but not in touch yet, he heard the sound of the door knob turn and lock.
His eyes grew wide and then another second he shut his eyes tight, waiting patiently.
But nothing happened, he opened his one eye another eye closed, he saw her still there standing holding a wide smirk on her face. Andrew pouted and slided himself out of her clutches. But before he can do so, she caged him from both sides, tilting her head to the side and she made a bored expression.
"What, my cat? Don't be all that shy when I am here with you alone in a locked room"
"What!!"
"Come give me a kiss, a hot one that makes my nerves weak"
He gulped and opened his mouth open to reply but only to reply air, he again inhaled and exhaled and spoke with a shuttering voice.
"M..y lady.."
"You can't?" She was fast to reply.
Having his head hung low with embarrassed, he shook his head in reply as it was a turn on for him and too much to take.
"Then be ready for punishment, my dear, I want to see my garden clean those dead leaves and those weeds are ruining my lovely garden"
"But my lady your garden is already beautiful and clean"
"No you are wrong, my dear go have a look at my garden through the window"
Isabelle gave him space to go and freed him from her clutches.
Confused Andrew slowly walked to his window to saw as she said, the garden was not clean!! It had dead leaves and weeds!!
'The garden was clean when I saw'
"My lady, did you used magic?" He said looking at the garden.
"I don't know?" She shrugged her shoulders.
"My lady, but that's a lot–"
"Bye~"
"My lady!!"
